Lee1980 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Well after much deliberation, weighing up the pros and cons of build vs buy, I've taken the plunge and bought a rolling chassis! The kit was originally bought in 2002, then @1960dave took it off his hands and built it to its current state. Now its over to me to finish it off. The main bits I need to buy are engine, gearbox, cooling system and exhaust. Undecided on engine at the moment, but will probably go for a Zetec crate engine. And the more I look at the chrome suspension, the less I like it! So I'll probably swap that out for widetrack amongst lots of other upgraditis along the way 😀 Garage before: Garage after: More pics: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
